Effect of Massage and Dry Cupping on Hemodynamic Parameters of Cardiac Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Journal of chiropractic medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of massage versus dry cupping in addition to routine care on hemodynamic parameters of cardiac patients in critical care units. Methods: The present study was a parallel randomized controlled clinical trial that was conducted in the critical care units of Shafa Hospital in Kerman, Iran, from 2019 to 2020. Ninety eligible patients)aged 18-75 years, no cardiac arrest in the past 72 hours, no severe dyspnea, no fever, and no cardiac pacemaker) were divided into massage (n = 30), dry cupping (n = 30), and control (n = 30) groups using the stratified block randomization method. The massage group received routine care and a head and face massage for 3 consecutive nights from the second day of admission. The dry cupping group received routine care and dry cupping between the third cervical vertebra and the fourth thoracic vertebra for 3 consecutive nights. The control group received only routine care, which included daily visits by the attending physician, nursing care, and medication. Each intervention session was performed for 15 minutes. The data collection tools included the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics questionnaire and the hemodynamic parameters form (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and saturation of peripheral oxygen). The hemodynamic parameters were measured each night before and after the intervention. Results: The mean systolic blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation level showed no significant difference among the 3 groups. The mean diastolic blood pressure of the 3 groups varied significantly over time. The mean diastolic blood pressure of the massage group decreased significantly on the third day of intervention, while it did not change significantly in the 2 groups of dry cupping or control ( Conclusion: According to the results of this study, dry cupping had no effect on regulating hemodynamic parameters, while only diastolic blood pressure was reduced significantly after massage on the third day of intervention. Therefore, our study did not show effects of massage and dry cupping on regulating hemodynamic parameters.
